OTHER BACKGROUND

Previous to Oxford I was on the faculty at the Marriott School, BYU and Goizueta Business School, Emory University. And prior to this I worked in venture capital in Munich Germany and Amman Jordan.

My oldest daughter Mia studies psychology at BYU. Here's her lab: [html]. She's planning on a PhD in psychology.


My second daughter Emma will start at King's College London this fall.
